A fine, elegant George
III period Rosewood Library table dating from c 1810. The table is free
standing, being designed to stand away from the wall and finished all
round. The rectangular top with rounded corners and Satinwood stringing
above a frieze containing two drawers and one false drawer on one side and
two false and one true drawer on the other, the drawers running the width
of the table and having original brass handles and escutcheons, and with
Satinwood strung edges. Below, the supports in columnal trestle form
standing on sabre legs terminating in original brass lions paw casters and
united by a turned stretcher with swirling decorative support. Good
condition and displaying beautiful mellow colour with various minor marks,
scratches etc consistent with age and use. The decorative segment of two
handles have sustained some damage over the years but I have not replaced
these as the handles are fully functional and are original. £2750
